Hillary and I have fundamental differences and thats just what it is, Sanders (I-Vt.) said on "The View."
Sigh, now I suppose if any D candidate is seen as having similar views to Hillary, guess what happens NEXT
The most qualified, experienced Democrat alive who is not a former president, or one of them, and someone says this running from OUR SIDE?

(15,419 posts)In all honesty, 2016 was a Republican year, coming off of 8 years of a Democratic Presidency. The candidate that would have don't the worst was the one they ran, Trump. I think anyone else that got the Republican nomination would have done better, even Cruz but especially Romney.
But who know, I could be wrong. Maybe Trump would have done better than Cruz or Romney because he has one talent and one talent only: riling up nuts and getting them pumped and out to the polls.

groundloop
(11,519 posts)All designed to foster division between us.
Bernie's statement wasn't really all that controversial.... he simply said he had different views than Hillary. So what?
Personally, I'm not going to dig too deeply into a candidates nuanced views on this or that topic. What we NEED is a President who can kick some repub ass, get good legislation passed, and surrounds him/herself with well qualified advisors.

(393 posts)I think Bernie handled the situation well. He simply said he and Hillary had difference of opinions.
What would be gained from Bernie speaking to Hillary? She basically blamed him for her loss in her book. I would be surprised if she had anything to say to Bernie. I could be wrong, but I think its obvious she doesn't like him. Fair enough; not everyone we think should like each other do.
Making this into a talking point just further divides us. There is no winning here, let it go.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)He said this for some purpose.
Sounds to me like Sanders is trying to stir up his base, and/or his ex-base as the case may be, using the same tactics that worked so well for both him and Trump with those people.
If thats the case, it might signal hes worried about how hes doing. He must know this tactic would repel others. Trump always turns to reinforcing his base when hes in trouble.
Remember, almost a full quarter of his primary voters refused to vote for Hillary and instead voted for Trump or third-party. A quarter is a lot of votes.

(1,201 posts)More $ for the dem party and plus brought in more new dem voters to our party. I'm so tired of snide comments about Bernie from the uninformed. He IS a dem and signed an agreement not to run as an independent if loses the primary, has always caucused with the dems and right now leads all candidates in both funding from small donations. He's always been "politically beneficial" to our Democratic party.
PS...you can always tell who the republicans fear running against the most as that candidate is the one most attacked at CPAC. Hands down it's Sen Bernie Sanders. This post is just another divisive waste, petty and unimportant and only those with a Bernie derangement syndrome will use it to attack our leading candidate showing full scale resentments that I have to ask myself if they are Russian.

I wonder why he can't answer the question without being negative... he won't win without Hillary voters. Maybe he will talk with his staff and come up with something better to say... here's a free response from me:
"We haven't had the chance to talk about 2020, no. There are many things I admire about Secretary Clinton and we may discuss the race at some point. I wish her peace as she watches from the sidelines this time."

And all little ones in our world who will inherit this damaged planet from their reckless wasteful greedy and short-sighted elders. UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!
That is Priority One.
That said, I WILL vote for whoever winds up being our nominee. If we want to win, thats essential, and urgent as hell. We cant afford another four years of trump. We cant afford another four years of republi-CONS. Our planet cant afford it, either!

If the so-called left decides to make noise and make trouble, ignore them. Point out to the media, at every opportunity, that they had their chance and did not win in 2016. They will not win in 2020 either, so division is their only option. Too bad they don't know how to play nice.

(42,862 posts)It implies that there's some obligation on Hillary's part that she's not fulfilling. It implies a belief that she "owes" him something and he's acting miffed about it. So, in return... the response is to passive-aggressively snub Hillary?
I know! Weird. Hard to believe... but that's certainly how it comes across. And I still wonder, what good purpose this serves?
Whenever I see any candidate behaving like that, it suggests to me that he or she may not be very good at thinking on their feet (or thinking BEFORE they speak). It makes me think that there's a bit of hotheadedness that isn't very presidential or diplomatic. In my opinion, anyone who behaves like that isn't qualified to be the President of the United States... no matter who he (or she) may be.
That applies to everyone!

(2,844 posts)That being said everyone here had better get used to many more articles like this until next year. We already have several qualified people declaring their intention to run for president and there will undoubtedly be many more. The vetting process is arduous, painful and sometimes brutal. There can only be one presidential nominee so there are going to be many all over this country whose feelings (albeit only for a short time) are going to be hurt eventually.
I think having this many candidates is a good thing. They all bring good qualifications and ideas to the table. In the end, hopefully, we'll have the best possible candidate to leave the republican alternative in a cloud of smoke and take this country on a much needed, energetic and fruitful journey into the future. That is the candidate I will support 100%.

However, in the scope of things for the regular voter going about his or her day, this means nothing to them.

(14,249 posts)Well maybe not completely.. Her authentic self probably wants to take a swing at him.
But at least she doesn't have to go out of her way to make nice with him.

The lingering tension between Sanders and Clinton has reemerged in recent days. Sanders was asked on Friday whether he plans to meet with Clinton, as others seeking the Democratic nomination have done.
I suspect not. Hillary has not called me. Look, we have differences, Sanders said on ABCs The View. Asked if he was interested in her advice, he responded, I think not.
Hillary and I have fundamental you know, fundamental differences, he said. And thats what it is.
Sundays events provided a forum for the belief among many African American leaders that the GOP has been launching a renewed fight against voting rights, with such measures as voter ID laws and the curtailment of early voting.

And candidates must affirm in writing to the DNC chairman that they "are a Democrat... are a member of the Democratic Party; will accept the Democratic nomination; and will run and serve as a member of the Democratic Party."...
But some Democrats, Clinton supporters in particular, partly blame Sanders for her loss in 2016. They feel that by not embracing the party label, Sanders sowed a sense that there wasn't much difference between the parties and, therefore, between Trump and Clinton.
Clinton, herself, wrote in her book What Happened that Sanders did "lasting damage" to her candidacy and that he never wanted a Democrat to win.
"He didn't get into the race to make sure a Democrat won the White House," Clinton wrote, "he got in to disrupt the Democratic Party."
She called him "fundamentally wrong" about the party, ticked off the things Democrats have done and noted, "I am proud to be a Democrat and I wish Bernie were, too."
